Description
This bridge would have likely spanned Arnold Creek, as the other streams in the vicinity were much smaller (Except for the mighty Ohio River). State Road 56 seems like the logical candidate, although it could have possibly been on State Road 262 as well.
The builder is a mystery to me, with the closest plaque resemblance being to some spans built in Pennsylvania by the Pittsburgh Bridge Company and/or Nelson & Buchanan.
